Sarah's First Birthday

October 11, 2007 3:34am: Sarah made her debut.
October 11, 2008 3:34pm: Sarah's First Birthday BBQ celebration commenced!


Sarah turned ONE year old this weekend! Where does the time go!! This past year was sure busy. The first three months spent in the NICU, the last 9 months at home. Sarah has mastered the crawl and moved on to pulling to stand, walking with assistance and standing all alone. We had a little BBQ to celebrate the big day. Enjoy the pictures...

Thanks to everyone who came to help us celebrate. Thanks for all the groovy gifts. And thanks Grandma for the beautiful birthday dress.

We hope to celebrate only happy occasions together. Wishing you all the best.

P.S. Watch for more pictures with the new "Ducky" bath tub soon....

Sarah's was quite the party animal on her birthday. She was passed from person to person, laughed, smiled, and babbled the whole time. Sarah never cried or became intolerant of all of us oogling over her. It was so much fun!

Erika and Roger, thanks for all the pictures. Sarah is so darn cute (am I a proud grandma? you bet!)

Sarah's most magnificent adventure continues; year 2, day 3. So much to be thankful for.

Our love to the three of you,
Grandma and Grandpa
